Question 32





A block of mass m1 = kg and a block of mass m2 = kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk having radius r = m and mass m = kg. The fixed, wedgeshaped ramp makes an angle of th = as shown in Figure P10.32. The coefficient of kinetic friction is u = for both blocks.
(a) Draw force diagrams of both blocks and of the pulley. Determine
(b) the acceleration of the two blocks and
(c) the tensions in the string on both sides of the pulley
